This two bedroom, two bathroom home of approximately 839 square feet is set within the reimagined T Barlow Brothers Umbrella Factory, a Grade II listed building in Manchester’s Ancoats district. Once defined by industry, the building now celebrates quiet craftsmanship and design. Arcadia Residence draws its name and spirit from the idea of an idyllic escape, a scene of simple pleasure and balance brought to life in modern form.

The design takes inspiration from Nordic principles, where light, material and proportion create harmony. A palette of beige, greige and soft neutral tones anchors the space, allowing texture and natural light to take precedence. Clean lines and considered detailing evoke calm without austerity, while subtle warmth ensures the home feels both elegant and lived in. Every room flows with ease and quiet confidence, reflecting a refined simplicity that feels timeless. It is a space for restoration, reflection and ease.
